Tips & Finishing Suggestions
- Use a stitch marker at the center ch-2 space to easily find the increase point each row.
- Check gauge if substituting yarn weights; a different yarn/hook will change the drape and finished size.
- To size the shawl, simply repeat Row 3 until the shawl reaches your preferred wingspan and depth.
- Block the shawl gently after weaving in ends to open the stitches and even out the shape. Add fringe or tassels for a boho look.
